Alexander, I probably will give it a 95. This is my first experience ever having a surgery and being in hospital for so long, so it is hard for me to rate it. But overall the experience was great, everyone was caring and nice, especially those nurses and therapists taking... Read more.

Day 4 after surgery, things are
finally moving on the right direction.for the few days after surgery, I wasn't able to go number 2. It was no fun and

Good to see you are turning a corner and doing better! Great work so far, and hoping you have a smooth, uneventful recovery going forward.❤️
I'm glad to hear that things are going better for you. Wishing you a smooth recovery from here on out.
Keep on improving you will get there. When you get to the point it moves quick. Thoughts remain with you.
Congratulations! Hope each day it will get better! Sending love❤️
Hang in there, Anna - this recovery takes time, but it gets better each week.
Sounds like you are doing well. The hospital staff will likely cheer when you do the No 2. It's very important for your release. Hang tough and listen to your body.
You are right, Rose, the sweet nurses cheered on me

Arrived at NYC safely yesterday. Very surprised that the fees and taxes for Uber added up to over 70 bucks, about two times the cost of the 30 something actually goes to the driver! Kind of culture shock to us southerners😂

Nice view!
Sometimes it's cheaper to Uber than take a taxi, but wow!
I know what you mean, Anna. It seems like many of the new, popular services are adding lots of fees. Let us know how you are settling in!
Better than being shot or mugged.
Thank you Valerie! I'm settling fine so far. The hotel is only a few minutes walk from hospital which is nice. It is tiny but clean and quiet. I'll only stay here till Tuesday night and then my husband will stay here alone, so it is not bad. I booked... Read more.
You are right, Richard! I definitely don't want to be mugged or carry the luggage on bus or subway 😂
I will have a long day tomorrow for pre-op tests
Good point Richard! All about perspective! 😂
Godspeed, Anna. You are finally there and will soon be in recovery.
Stay safe Anna! Godspeed.
Praying all goes well for you this week Anna! 🙏❤️ 🏻
You are almost on the other side of surgery. You are going to do great.
